"عَن الشَّعْبِىِّ: أَنَّ عَلِيّا أُتِىَ فِى رَجُلٍ وَجَدَ فِى خَرِبَةٍ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ بِالسَّوَادِ فَقَالَ: لأَقْضِيَنَّ فِيها قَضَاءً بَيِّنًا، إِنْ كُنْتَ وَجَدْتَهَا فِى خَرِبَةٍ تَحْمِلُ خَرَاجَهَا قَرْيَةٌ عَامِرَةٌ فَهِىَ لَهُمْ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لاَ يَحْمِلُ فَلَكَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَخْمَاسِهِ، وَلَنَا خُمُسُهُ وَسَأُطَيِّبُهُ لَكَ جِمِيعًا".

From al-Sha'bi: Ali was brought the case of a man who found one thousand five hundred dirhams in a ruin in al-Sawad. He said: "I will certainly give a clear judgment on it. If you found it in a ruin whose kharaj is borne by a populated village, then it belongs to them. If it does not bear kharaj, then four-fifths of it is yours, one-fifth is ours, and I will make the whole of it lawful to you."
